Prepare a sustainable abode with help from New York Thrives

by next ooze

Preppers do not necessarily all believe that the world is completely going to end. Most preppers base their movement on the importance of being prepared by being self reliant. Humans have become so dependent on others to provide for us. This is very prevalent in crowded suburbs like Long Island. We have turned into a toss away society, buying goods to be wasted and thrown into landfills.

You do not need to be a devout follower of the prepper movement to learn how to be more self reliant.

Create a more energy efficient home

Repurpose goods for other purposes to keep waste from landfills

Sustainable building such as green roofs

Sustainable gardening and farming such as growing your own vegetables and raising chickens to supply eggs.

It is important for us to maintain an ecological balance for our Earth to survive.

New York Thrives has opened it’s doors to help us on the quest to be sustainable. Lee Keil has opened this retail store specifically to sell:

The store will also be emphasizing the need to repurpose furnishings and recycle

Creative repurposed furniture and housewares will be for sale at the shop.

Lee Keil stresses the need for people to be able to be self reliant in the event of a major crisis.

There are workshops planned to “learn how to do all this stuff!”
